If there's interest in the future, I'd suggest perhaps collaboratively creating a character or two and establishing a back story for the character(s) so that everyone involved has a solid base to work from. Then, once the characters are established, choose a setting and a conflict, etc. Essentially, build the framework of the story so that people have an idea of what to work toward. Hell, the ending could even be done collaboratively and the exercise could center on getting Character X to X ending point.
I would suggest writing in paris. -That was supposed to be "pairs" and not "paris" but hell... why not both pairs in paris. But seriously, I think I could get a lot more done working with one other person. Or, have it be more structured, meaning that it's an "are you in"? at the outset and then there is a set order to the progression. There was too much chaos in the order of who went when in the inaugural #storyclub. Also, a set "length" so we know we need to wrap up. Oh, and insomniasexx and lil.... how dare you?!
I agree about the length. It was getting too long to follow and to keep all the bits together although a brave effort was made. At one point, humanodon, I believe, did a noble job of summarizing. While I'd love to write in Paris, the larger group meant totally unexpected things would be thrown in. Here's another suggestion: When someone starts a new "chapter," we could label it as such in text, maybe even have fun chapter headings.
It wasn't as harsh as lil made it out to be! We were just saying we have tried to revive it twice and now it just seems forced and and and and yeah...thing's should be allowed to die with dignity.
You Jack Kevorkianed Ashley, Pak and Panapak. :(
They will always have a special place in our hearts. They are in a better place now.
